Kimbo Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 Are we counting Ben Thatcher on Pedro Mendes as a tackle? Gotta say I thought the Santos one was a worse tackle - watched the vid Wullie posted, and yeah, Thatcher kicks the shit out of his knees as he wildly swings his left leg at him. It is indeed an assault. But Santos, with malicious forethought, set out to butcher Johnson. He got off the ground, both feet studs up and connected full whack with Johnson’s trailing foot (and bonus style points have to go for Johnson’s fall). As a footballing tackle, I feel it’s worse...? ? It was the running elbow from Thatcher that was the problem. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying it wasn’t a horrific challenge, just saying why I thought Santos’ was worse. Didn’t think the arm was worth the mention. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRC Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 Still bitter about Gravesen on Bernard. This tackle ruined us, we were never the same after this and its what got Robson sacked. Not even exaggerating. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raconteur Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 Okay, I did think it was a mention. Sorry, I’m half asleep. The arm action is secondary to the leg action. In my opinion. That seems to be where Kimbo and I disagree, and I’m doing a shite job of explaining my argument. Yeah? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEEJ Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 That tit Tony Gale I think. "On the brink of a red" Focusing on the lateness of the challenge rather than the (quite obviously deliberate) elbow to the jaw. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Papavasiliou Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 Still bitter about Gravesen on Bernard. Went to look for this one and could only see a video called "Thomas Gravesen-Horror Fouls,Crazy Skills" It was 10mins long and only included his time at Real!

I'm surprised you even noticed his legs in it Not to mention he had a 30 yard full sprint leading into the elbow. I mean ... for goodness sake He then stands up running off at the mouth to Glen Johnson as if nothing happened. Complete and utter Neanderthal.

Colos Short and Curlies Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 There was one in USA 94 involving Brazil where Keegan was co-commentating and slightly downplayed an obvious assault. We've had our share of poor fouls - was it Barton against Everton the season we went down? But the absolute worst Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 That tackle was probably the top of the Robson era curve, like. Still in title hunt, 1-1, should have been playing 10-men, it’s never been that good since. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
